PGP
The best way to be secure that your Email or files will not be intercepted
is to crypt them using a good program.
The best program to do that is the PGP one; in fact it is impossible to
decrypt without having the key and the password.
This text is an introduction to PGP,only.
First of all it is important to define how it works.
The program generates a couple of Keys (one public and one private) using
a password (it is better to use a long phrase) and a random sequence of types
that you press on the keyboard.
The person, who wants to send you the crypted mail, has to crypt it using
your public key, so only you, with your private key and password, are able to
decript it.
That's all !
And now I am give you some useful information that Dead Man gave to me
when I was a beginner user of PGP:
SETTING YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET PATH=....;C:\PGP;
SET PGPPATH=C:\PGP
SET TZ="YOUR CLOCK CODE"
MAKING THE COUPLE OF KEYS
PGP -KG
PUBLIC KEY:
TO EXTRACT YOUR KEY: PGP -KXA "name" "outfile"
TO ADD ANOTHER KEY: PGP -KA "infile"
TO REMOVE ONE: PGP -KR "name"
KRYPT
CRIPTA UN TESTO: PGP -ETA "infile" "name" -O "outfile"
DEKRYPT:
PGP "infile" -O "outfile"
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT PGP PROGRAM'S EXPORTATION OUTSIDE USA IS
ILLEGAL. NEVERTHELESS THERE ARE EXCUSABLE PROGRAMS THAT ARE MADE IN EUROPE (ex:
PGP 2.6.3i ).
